New figures have shed more light on which groups are extremely vulnerable to coronavirus and where the bulk of the deaths are occurring in the UK.
Data released by the Office for National Statistics revealed 38 deaths in a single week that were previously unreported because they occurred outside hospitals.
The figures suggest one in 14 coronavirus-related deaths in England and Wales could be taking place outside hospitals and the overall toll is much greater than thought.
Covid-19 was linked to five per cent of deaths in the week up to March 27. The report was released as the Department of Health's official coronavirus death toll, which only accounts for in-hospital deaths since the outbreak began, was set to surpass 5,400 on Tuesday.
